Video: Martin Ssempa, Pastor in Uganda Uses Fruits To Graphically Demonstrates Gay Sex On National TV
A prominent anti-gay Ugandan pastor condemned homosexuality during a televised discussion with a transgender activist, engaging in a graphic demonstration of gay sex involving bananas, cucumbers and other produce items.
On the talk show "Morning Breeze," Reverend Martin Ssempa declared, "When you are homosexual, you have more chance of experiencing death from HIV –- why?"
Picking up a banana, he noted, "When you take a man –- this is a man's genitals — you insert them into the intestine, OK? They put their genitals into their excretory system…this excretory system is not designed to receive, it is only for exit!"

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on our way,
Thou who has by thy might led us into the light,
Keep us forever in your heart, we pray.
Father God, we thank you for bringing us to this time and place,
To celebrate the courage, wisdom and faith of a group of people
Who became known as the Freedom Riders.
People who stood up against injustice,
To do the will of God.
And for that we stop to just thank you,
To say much obliged to you.
We thank you, heavenly Father, that the time of healing has come,
The time of reconciliation is upon us.
Lord, we ask that you order our steps and direct our path;
That you fill us with your Holy Spirit,
So that we may do your will,
That we may do all that you have called and purposed us to do and be.
We pray that your Word will be our weapon.
Help us to know that the things that separate us are not greater than the things that bind us together.
Life is greater than death.
Love is greater than hate.
We pray against those things that separate us:
Race, class, status, religion, political parties, economics.
We pray for our world leaders, for every nation, for every hamlet.
We pray for wisdom, courage, strength and faith,
As we continue to work to make Calhoun County,
Anniston, Alabama and this country a better place in which to live.
Let us not be ashamed nor afraid as we work together and learn from our past,
So that events that brought us to this time never happen again.
Let us march on till there is no more poverty,
No more suffering,
No more hate.
Let us march on until justice rolls down like water,
And righteousness like an everflowing, mighty stream.
Let us march on until victory is won.

great job!
Hey. skimmed through this once again. Man.. there are so many things visually to admire, and learn from, so I hope you're not offended I used the word skim lol. I totally understand what you mean with that reply to Aryeh. I've got similar desires and can reflect totally with what you mean about studying so hard, that your ideas cannot be fully attained, and yet you're still trying. I understand what you mean, about 'why do I keep drawing'... 'I've tried everything else'... I totally get it man. There is something spiritual about art, especially as the one with the creative desire within, that drives us to want to keep creating. It's an awesome and also overwhelming feeling. Never being able to fully 'manifest' your visions. Maybe one day. I don't know if your spiritual (not religious)- but I can imagine a heaven where the ability to create will be an actuality. We would envision let's say, a "creature" or something, and it would come to life. Just me expressing my faith tho lol.. In one sense we play gods ourselves, to have the potential and focus of instilling emotion or power into the work we make-- wanting it to transcend the pages into someone's heart and mind. That's a true ability-- some don't understand what the visual medium can do.. same thing with the music-- the whole arts region really: dance, music, visual-arts, etc. It's all so very powerful to use.
Long story short-- creating visions is a gift. Transcending your creativity to inspire another's creativity is a deeper challenge, but one worthy to attain.
I pray that God will bless you in your endeavors.
"Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?" (exodus 15:11)

Black Cat Chronicles : Soul Thief now published
wow just read the very insight bringing discussion of you guys on the tricky nature of creativity.
everytime I read this kind of discussion it feels like some sort of small step toward deliverence out of the state you know you're in but have no idea of how to get the hang of.
anyway I think I've a new rule for myself after lots of repetition with the same challenges and that's to be realistic and know that if I don't draw or sculpt or ... for fun and enjoyment's sake as much as for obliging reasons I'll never have a sound relationship to being creative and the capacity to be creative won't last and I'll end up in a block that I'll have to get out of.
when you're there in that state of "I should work on that thing, arhh I can't stomach it" and just because you can't seem to take on one the current pressing piece of work you fall into the trap of not doing any work at all.
and I have to keep being reminded of this issue so often when looking back in hindsight and saying yeah.. I spent the last week working only so and so many hours with art.. was that all I felt like doing art? heck no.. but it was just how much I could stomach that singular specific project and all else fell with it...
I think I'm going to have a new rule for myself from now on. make sure to warm-up with fun stuff before getting down to more pretentious business and to schedule play. to assume that it's necessary in order to keep inspiration and motivation flowing and a healthy creativity.
why do I always think "ok so perhaps I should draw draw/do cg now, ok what's most important? yeah that, I'll have to work up the motivation to pick that up". I think when I look back so many of my best pieces has been done at a friends place or away from my work station.. started during meal time or on the train etc... still have to work toward professionality I guess but I have to remember what get's me creative in the first place or what's the point of high goals? :/...
now I'm off to have some fun (doing something that'll prolly turn out a good piece but doesn't have to) after a few days of "not feeling like doing that specific thing and so did none". I'm considering buying a deck of Oblique Strategies... check them out on one of the online versions or getting a rotating wallpaper (hasn't windows had that since vista?) with motivating inspirational artwork and photos and sayings and oblique strategies cards and other such reminder work like this nice layout of the "29 ways to stay creative".
best of luck maintaining your creative health you too guys!

I think the guys at SMV are a good example of mixing fun and work in a balanced and somewhat trashy way.
The point is... living life. And if you forfeit your best years for something you arnt enjoying and treasuring, then is it worth it?

It's been a while man but it's great to see your still apart of this community. The crits you have given myself and others in the past and recently are gold and it's awesome that you constantly share that knowledge.
Being an artist is a strange life, and i think sites like ca.org and others are important for keeping an artists sanity (at least it is for mine :p). I'm constantly told by family and friends that i need to 'get a real job and start a family' while instead i'm holding everything aside to improve my skills. People think i'm stupid or crazy or abit of a looser, maybe i am but i guess this is the path i have chosen.

midknight523 - Thanks man!
Poetry man - As said earlier, I wanted to write a solid reply to your post. Thanks for your post man. It made me happy to read. I don't think I have much to add, I completely agree with you. The next step, after realizing that we are able to create is to start creating. We can do something for the world with what we do.
We all have the ability to express our selves one way or another, and the world needs everyone's unique voice in this. The heaven you're talking about is the reality of what art can do. The "creature" might not be living or breathing, yet the image still has the power to impact those who looks at it. The same goes for the emotion we instill in our work. It's indeed a very powerful medium.
AllyAlbon - Thank you, makes me happy to hear!
Nim - Thanks for your post my friend. It's always interesting to hear what you all bring to the table. I really appreciate it.
JakehC - The SixMoreVodka team seems like a bunch of incredibly cool people yeah. I saw Marko's work in Berlin at their Etnologische museum. It was awesome. On to doing art vs living life.. I think it depends on who you are and what you want to do with art. There will always be sacrifices, but it's a decision we are prepared to take as embarkers on our own road. What's most important is that we are in tune with our selves. We shouldn't be choking ourselves to fulfill our creative goals. The source of creation comes from within and that part of us needs to feel good and be taken care of, or it will all come tumbling down as we start to build.
Odayga - I'll keep you updated about the collab!
AztcFireFlower - Thank you for dropping by! your figuredrawing is so inspirational! I read some advice in your sketchbook about learning about proportions first when trying to learn about the figure. It's something I've taken to heart ever since.

If you need to surround yourself with more supportive people we're here. Stay strong.

A quick warning, this is a long post. Don't feel like reading? pictures at the bottom!
This update contains perspective studies. In my "back to the basics" project that I have going on I decided to get into perspective first. Behind all my decisions I try to have good reasons, and make intelligent choices. The reasons why I am starting with perspective and not any of the other fundamentals are many:
1. It's a weakness. I've never actually studied perspective so I have very limited knowledge about it. I've spent much more time studying anatomy, colortheory and other subjects.
2. In the book "A treatise on painting" Leonardo da Vinci writes "The young student should, in the first place, acquire knowledge of perspective. Next, he must study Nature, in order to confirm and fix his mind the reason of those percepts which he has learnt. He must also bestow some time in viewing the works of various old masters, to form his eye and judgment, in order that he may be able to put in practice all that he has been taught." Reading this made sense to me.
3. The more I look at artists that inspire me the most, and whose artworks make me scream like a pubescent fangirl, the more I realize that a strong knowledge of perspective enables them to create those amazing pictures. (Kim Jung Gi I'm pointing at you! Ò_ó)
4. Perspective seems to be that invisible skeleton that, once you learn how to draw and see it, keeps everything together and I want to be able to see it as well so I can draw cooler stuff from imagination.
With that in mind I've started doing perspective starting with the very basics. Last week was spent on gathering some resources and exploring 1point perspective. This week I continue into 2point and 3point perspective.
I will combine textbook practices such as drawing cubes and other geometric shapes, with drawing from life and studying masters. I've found that architecture, manga and other comics, and renaissance paintings are especially good resources for perspective.
I don't expect to be a master of perspective in any way after doing this. However, I do expect to have a basic enough knowledge of perspective that I will be able to spot its various forms in nature and much better be able to draw scenery from life. I'm only giving myself 2 weeks because there are many other fundamentals I wish to improve on as well. This doesn't mean I won't continue doing perspective after this. It only means that I will be working on my chosen subject during school-time.
My spring semester is project-based and the subjects are completely up to the individual which is so great. I can finally spend my time working on what I want to!
I'd also like to share something I learned when learning guitar a while back. It's very simple yet so powerful, and important to keep in mind. You ready for it?
Work on what you can't do!
What does this mean? From a music point-of-view, if you're learning chords, and you are good at nailing the D-chord, but struggle with the G-chord, then go practice on getting the G-chord right. It won't do you much good if you keep practicing what you know again and again. Also, don't worry about that D-chord, every time you play it you will passively get better. I try to apply this to my drawings.
There's no need to draw page after page of cubes in a 1point perspective if you already know how to draw them in that perspective. Instead, go draw a scene from life in 1point perspective. Sit in a corridor or look at a painting with that perspective and do a study of that. I bet it's much more challenging than drawing cubes and I also bet you'll learn much more.
When I am confident in drawing volumes in perspective I'll move on to drawing from life and masters.

I won't be able to read all these books or work with all of the material listed here, but I thought I'd list them anyway. I am starting with the perspective 101 thread since it seemed like a really well-arranged and comprehensive guide to perspective.
If anyone feels like adding to this list, feel free to share
Now on to the pictures and keeping it short here. What have I learned so far?
-complex shapes are difficult to do in 1-point perspective. Simple geometry works really well, but as soon as you want to start subtracting or adding volumes, it gets difficult. Especially since you're limited to vertical, horizontal and receding lines.
-I always thought the horizon-line to be a given divider of space, with everything above the the horizon being in air, but now I think it's only true under certain conditions. When I started observing nature I found that groundplanes could be above the theoretical horizon. Something that confused me a lot at first but that I now seem grasp.
-horizon is at eyehight of the observer
-drawing from life was so much harder than expected! spent hours on the "simple" picture with a corridor and a door.
I'll share more when I learn more!
Sorry for the long read hehe.

We tend to take multitasking
<cite>We tend to take multitasking for granted these days, but 20 years ago, it was a Holy Grail for the personal computing platforms. With its DOS foundation, Windows could only wish for it. The Mac and OS/2 fumbled their way around it.</cite>
OS/2 did not fumble around multitasking. It was very good at it, on par if not better than the Amiga.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Nice selection of fonts. Pearl shimmer paper is great. Thick enough paper without being too thick. Printing quality was excellent. People have seen the program and love it. I, the bride, am quite happy with it, which we all know is what's most important. LOL"
"We put these programs at each place setting . Inside we had used the lyrics of a favorite song of ours about spending the rest of your life with the ONE ! This for us was just the perfect design and Wedding Paper Divas made this so easy and stress free . We can't thank you enough for helping us !"
"was on the verge of a wedding meltdown over putting off programs until the last minute - found the website on the knot put it together on a beautiful design and had it to me in record time! even re-ordered more to ensure everyone gets one of these beautiful programs on our day! quite pricey worth every penny"
"The personalization of this program is what made this absolutely perfect for me, I used Baroque and I got my reception program printed at the back.. I was very impressed and please with this product"
"These programs were perfect -- they matched our invites, reply cards, reception cards, etc. I LOVE how much customization can be done to these cards -- I deleted everything that was in there and put the wedding ceremony details on the left and the wedding party details on the right... then asked if we could print directions to the reception on the back of the program (white print, as the color wraps around)... and they did it immediately at NO EXTRA COST... THANK YOU!!! Seriously in love with these! And when I reviewed the directions and decided that adding bullet points would provide clarity, they did it immediately (also at no cost). Fantastic!!!"

Bold animated series 'The Boondocks' returns for its final 'offensive' season on Adult Swim
11 hours ago
NEW YORK (AP) — The brash animated series "The Boondocks" returns Monday to Adult Swim for its fourth and final season without Aaron McGruder, the man who spawned it, but with its brashness intact. Adapted by McGruder in 2005 from his comic strip of the same name, "The Boondocks" quickly distinguished itself for its pull-no-punches exploration of the black experience in the U.S., where living, making a living and just growing up can pose special challenges for African-Americans.

"I didn't want it to just be something that I phoned in," Levine said. "So I was really involved in the process."

Session Border Controller (SBC) Market Expected to Remain Robust
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jan. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reported that spending in voice core key growth segments, LTE and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Core, will continue to increase over the next five years.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101012/SF80035LOGO)
"We expect that cumulative revenue generated from newer Session Border Controller (SBC), Voice Application Servers (VAS) and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Core systems will far exceed that from more mature Softswitch, Media Gateway and Mobile Switching Center (MSC) systems over the next five years," said Chris DePuy, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group. "As these new systems are deployed at service providers, we expect these operators will be faced with the decision whether to use vendor-supplied hardware or to use off-the-shelf server systems and vendor supplied Network Function Virtualization (NFV) software systems. This architectural transition to NFV presents near-term risks for both operators and vendors, but may provide for more efficient network operations over time," concluded DePuy.
Revenue projections for the SBC and VAS markets reveal a greater than ten percent compounded annual growth rate over the forecast period. The forecast report includes an analysis and estimate of NFV licenses for the SBC, IMS Core and VAS markets. The forecast report also includes Voice over LTE (VoLTE) subscribers, IMS Core equipment, Softswitch and Media Gateway equipment, and Enterprise Session Border Controllers. Markets are included for vendors such as Alcatel-Lucent, Broadsoft, GENBAND, Huawei, Mavenir, Metaswitch, Nokia-Siemens Networks, Oracle, Sonus, and ZTE.

The beginning of the end for Hulu?January 8, 2013: 7:04 AM ET
The video streaming service is losing its charismatic CEO at a spectacularly bad time.
See correction below.
By Janet Morrissey, contributor
"My decision to depart has been one of the toughest I've ever made," he wrote, but gave no reasons for his exit. No finger-pointing. No long diatribes about the industry or Hulu's owners. Zilch. In fact, the blog left more questions than answers, especially about Hulu's long-term future and its viability in an industry that has become fiercely competitive. (See Hulu's network drama in Fortune.)
At least one other employee -- chief technology officer Richard Tom -- is also leaving, causing industry experts to wonder how many others may follow the two out the door. Some speculate that many of the people Kilar brought in with him -- colleagues from Amazon (AMZN) and buddies from Harvard Business School -- may also exit, which could create considerable uncertainty at Hulu. "Anytime you start to see key management personnel that have been involved in building a company leaving, then yeah, there's concern about the future of that franchise," says Channing Smith, managing director of equity strategies at Capital Advisors.
Some industry analysts even wonder if this is the beginning of the end of Hulu.
With big-name media giants News Corp (NWS), Walt Disney Co (DIS), and Comcast's (CMCSA) NBCUniversal among its owners and Kilar as its chief executive, Hulu had been on a growth trajectory that had surprised even its toughest critics. Industry skeptics dubbed the entity "Clown Co" when it was first formed because they didn't think a bunch of big media companies could get a sophisticated technology product off the ground. Kilar, a former Amazon whizkid, is largely credited for the company's growth and success. Its revenues climbed 65% in 2012 alone, the company claimed in a blog in December.
MORE: Hulu's network drama
However, tension between Kilar and the media owners had been escalating for some time. Missteps and internal bickering over Hulu's direction had been rising behind the scenes. In some cases, it spilled out into the public domain.
In February 2011, Kilar had a Jerry Maguire moment when he issued a 2,000 word diatribe on his blog, basically claiming old TV was dead -- a manifesto that didn't set well with media owners like News Corp's Fox and Disney's ABC. The previous year, he opposed the owners' plans to add a $9.99 a month subscription plan, suggesting instead a more reasonable $4.99 fee to stay competitive. In the end, Hulu's owners compromised with a $7.99 rate for what became Hulu Plus. Kilar also made frantic calls to owners when he learned some were making content deals with rivals, such as Netflix (NFLX), a move he felt undermined Hulu's product.
Then there was Hulu's proposed IPO that never happened in 2010, and the failed effort to sell itself in 2011. There was a firm -- and high -- offer to buy Hulu on the table, according to one person familiar with the situation. But the owners were reluctant to sell the venture because they wanted to maintain control over the pricing and licensing of their content thereby ensuring Hulu didn't cannibalize conventional TV ad revenue, the person said. This came as competition was heating up in the sector from Netflix, Amazon Prime, Google (GOOG), DISH Network's (DISH) TV Everywhere, Comcast's Xfinity, NimbleTV and others.
All of this turmoil vexed both Kilar and the company's fourth owner, private equity giant Providence Equity Partners. Providence had acquired a 10% stake in Hulu for $100 million in 2007, but had a put option, which became exercisable last Fall, to sell the stake back to the company for $200 million.
In October, Providence exercised that option, raising eyebrows and opening up a Pandora's box of speculation about Hulu's future. Afterall, Providence's sole interest is in seeing its investments, like Hulu, grow and profit. So, why would it sell its stake in Hulu if it believed there was still considerable growth ahead? Since Providence's interests were aligned with Kilar's, rumors went into overdrive that Kilar's days at the company were likely numbered. "Someone who wanted to see financial growth, audience growth, wasn't so thrilled anymore" says James McQuivey, a media analyst at Forrester (FORR) Research. "I was surprised Kilar stayed as long as he did," McQuivey adds.
MORE: The future of TV (maybe)
He believes the media owners have more or less lost interest in Hulu. "They don't want it to succeed," says McQuivey. "It's media economics -- if it succeeds, it will do so by cannibalizing the currency of the television media business today which is television ratings. So they made a decision to make sure Hulu didn't get too good or become too successful."
When the media companies first formed Hulu, it was aimed at satiating the booming consumer appetite for TV content over the web and to prevent consumers from seeking pirated material. They thought peer-to-peer file sharing was going to do to video what it did to music. That led them to make content available online a day after broadcast. In the mean time, that fear dissipated as authentication-based models -- where people can access programming if they prove they paid for television -- proved successful. "That model allowed the media companies to avoid direct cannibalization and the need for Hulu evaporated," he says. Media firms don't want to swap analog dollars for digital dimes.
Disney chief Bob Iger said in a statement to Fortune, "Jason has been an integral part of the Hulu story, transforming it from an interesting idea into an innovative business model that continues to evolve. We are proud of his achievements, we appreciate what he's built, and we share his confidence in his team's ability to drive Hulu forward from here." The firm's other media owners did not respond to request for comment.
Kilar's dedication and belief in Hulu ran deep. He turned down overtures last year to head up Yahoo (YHOO), after Scott Thompson resigned. Instead, Kilar continued to plead with Hulu's media owners, requesting a $200 million infusion to help Hulu fund more original programming that could further differentiate it from competitors. But the media giants were reluctant to open their wallets, according to people familiar with the situation. Afterall, Hulu already had to borrow $338 million in October to buy out Providence's stake and cover a $134 million employee equity-based compensation package in 2012, according to a Nov. 21 filing by Disney.
This all likely led to Kilar's decision to throw in the towel. "Kilar had to do some long hard thinking that his company was never going to be all of the things he had promised his employees and that he had signaled to the market that company could become," says McQuivey. "I suspect there was some disagreement on the business model going forward and strategically how to shape the company," says Smith.
MORE: What the hell is going on with TV?
Most believe Kilar will have no trouble landing on his feet. "Obviously he has immense respect in the industry and great pedigree," says Smith. "So I'm sure whatever he chooses to endeavor, he'll be successful." McGuivey agrees. "The man's talents are very well-respected and I think there isn't a person in the tech industry who didn't see what he went through and consider him the martyr."
As for Hulu itself, that may be a different story.
A previous version of this story mistakenly suggested Jason Kilar went to Harvard Law School. Fortune regrets the error.

Kenya's Ikal Angelei has won one of this year's Goldman Prizes, often called the Nobel Prize for environmentalists. Ms Angelei mobilised her community in Turkana - northern Kenya - to try and stop a massive dam from being built in neighbouring Ethiopia. She realised that the projected Gibe-3 dam on Ethiopia's Omo River - which empties into Lake Turkana - could destroy the livelihoods of thousands of people. Ms Angelei told the BBC Africa's Audrey Brown why she kick-started a campaign to get the project stopped and what she and the group she co-ordinates, Friends of Lake Turkana, will do with the $150,000 (£94,600) from the prize.
Ikal was interviewed by the BBC and you can listen to the podcast at the BBC Website

Move to New York puts Tebow center stage in media firestorm
Story Highlights
Tim Tebow is quickly joining the elite ranks of celebrities in national awareness
In New York, Tebow will face a crazed media environment he hasn't quite seen yet
Broncos PR staff limited Tebow's exposure; Jets staff is criticized by local media
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. --The most famous backup quarterback in NFL history stepped onto the artificial turf of the New York Jets practice facility at 12:06 p.m. on Monday afternoon. He smiled as he walked past the yard markers on the field, the click-click-click of cameras marking his every step. Tim Tebow then stepped up to the podium to address the congregation, and what he saw was a three-deep row of 36 cameras in front of him. "How's it going?" Tebow said. "Good to see all y'all. Lot of people here."
Lot of people, indeed. More than 200 media members headed to northern New Jersey for Tebow's introductory news conference, an alphabet soup of organizations from ESPN to Fox to the New York Times. The quarterback answered 30 questions over 33 minutes, smiling politely at each inquisitor upon answering. When asked why a backup quarterback was holding a press conference, Tebow did a very smart thing: He blamed management: "The reason we are doing this today is because I have bosses, too," Tebow said. "They wanted me to stand up and talk to all y'all. So I could blame it on them because they made me do it."
It was the beginning of what promises to be a memorable ride for Tebow and the New York sports media, given he is unlike any second-string athlete in the history of New York professional sports. He now ranks in the Top 10 in the endorsement category of all celebrities, according to The Marketing Arm's Davie-Brown Index (DBI), which measures nearly 3,000 celebrities, including current and retired sports figures. Each celebrity is evaluated by respondents and given a weighted average score across eight attributes -- appeal, aspiration, awareness, endorsement, influence, breakthrough, trendsetter and trust.
SI.com asked The Marketing Arm to provide updated statistics as of last week, and Tebow's numbers continue to soar.
The quarterback sits at No. 4 among all celebrities in DBI's Endorsement scale, trailing only Oprah Winfrey, Adele and Kate Middleton. (Will Smith, Bill Gates, Hank Aaron, Tom Hanks and Jack Nicklaus follow Tebow in the Top 10 of Endorsement). He has also soared into the Top 10 in the Influence category -- up from No. 40 in December -- which places him alongside Adele, Justin Bieber, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt. Regarding the Trendsetter attribute, Tebow has risen to No. 6, which is on par with Katy Perry, Anne Hathaway, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Will Smith. His No. 13 ranking in Trust puts him in the same neighborhood as Warren Buffett, the late John Wooden, Bill Cosby, Jerry Rice and Dr. Oz.
The Marketing Arm says Tebow is now known by more than 75 percent of all U.S. consumers. According to Nielsen and E-Poll's N-Score ranking, which measures factors including name and image awareness and appeal, as well as attributes such as sincerity, approachability, experience and influence, Tebow has a score of 180. Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez has a score of just 12.
What will impact Tebow's scores on the DBI going forward is how much he plays this season. "The guy is not as exciting and influential if he's on the sideline with a clipboard or playing 10 plays a game," said Matt Delzell, a group account director from The Marketing Arm.
But that's not the case for the hypercompetitive New York media market, which has treated Tebow's arrival with lustful brio and plenty of column inches. Since he arrived from Denver last Wednesday, Tebow has appeared on the front of the New York Post three of the past five days, including a "GOD HIM" headline on the day he arrived. (The Post ran 24 stories on Tebow between Wednesday and Sunday.) The New York Daily News has also featured Tebow on the front three of the past five days, including a story centered around the quarterback attending the Broadway play Wicked on Sunday ("TIM GETS WICKED"). The News ran 28 stories on Tebow between Wednesday and Sunday.
In addition to tabloids and America's most well-known national paper, The New York Times, New York City is home to a pair of 24-hour sports talk stations, including long-time powerhouse WFAN-AM, multiple local television stations and all the broadcast networks. Worth noting is that the Bristol, Conn., home of ESPN, whose obsession with Tebow is similar to the one Jennifer Jason Leigh had for Bridget Fonda in Single White Female, sits just 107 miles north of Manhattan.
"He transcends the sports landscape and that's why you are seeing stories on the front of the paper," says Teri Thompson, the managing editor for sports at the New York Daily News. "And he creates immediately a quarterback controversy, which of course is a Godsend to the tabloids of New York. Once training camp begins, it will be like that Allstate commercial -- mayhem. And then once the season starts, Lord only knows what will happen, and no pun intended."
"He's going to sell papers because he's a guy that sparks great interest from the public," said New York Post night sports editor Pat Hannigan, who has worked at the paper since 1978 and is well-known within newspaper circles for providing some of the paper's most famous back page headlines. "As for writing headlines, with a guy like Tebow there are a lot of things to play off. You can almost go to the Bible. On Friday we had REX'S NEW COMMANDMENT: LOVE THY BACKUP because Rex [Ryan] was raving about the guy."
Connor Ennis, who oversees NFL coverage for The New York Times, said Tebow's arrival would not fundamentally change how the paper covered the Jets, but they planned to come at Tebow from multiple story angles. "It's tough to think of a sports figure that's known by sports fans and non-sports fans, and is both very popular and divisive to a certain segment," Ennis said. "People will be very aggressive in covering him, and you'll see a lot in the coverage once the season starts. If Sanchez has a bad game, I'm sure you will be seeing columns calling for Tebow. In a way it will sort of be like Tiger Woods at his peak, when so many people who were not golf fans would pick up a paper and say "How did Tiger do?"
Both Thompson and Hannigan said they have yet to discuss whether Tebow would be assigned his own reporter -- something The Washington Post did when Michael Jordan joined that franchise in 2001 -- but Thompson said it is something the Daily News would "seriously consider."
So what can Tebow expect from the reporters inside the Jets locker room? Multiple reporters who cover the Jets called it a very competitive beat ("Quirky and clashing personalities," said one Jets reporter, describing the media clan) and Tebow entering the ecosystem will exacerbate that. "Even during press conferences there is a real competition to tweet what Rex said first," said Jane McManus, who covers the team for ESPNNewYork.com. "It is an extremely competitive beat and it can get contentious at times. With Tebow arriving or when Brett Favre came in, or with any big moment involving the Jets, you get this wash of columnists who move back and forth between all the New York teams. Now you'll have the 'Access Hollywood' and 'Inside Edition' people. It will be crazy."
On Monday, the Jets used the field house at their practice facility to hold Tebow's introductory news conference, because they did not have a room big enough to house the media overflow. "The Jets are never well-prepared for any of this stuff," said one longtime Jet reporter. "They are always behind the eight ball. Every New York writer would tell you the perfect combination of the two teams would be the Jets' storylines and the Giants public relations staff. The Jets PR staff is constantly like: "We didn't expect that to happen." It's going to be crazy with Tebow. You're going to see people like Pat Robertson and Bill O'Reilly talking about what the Jets should do with their backup. They'll have so many critics. And the history of the Jets is they try to protect the guys that have any kind of news value."
Sports talk radio often drives the water-cooler conversation in New York, and caller lines last week were heated with fans wanting to talk about the Tebow acquisition. "It has completely overtaken the radio station," said Mark Chernoff, the vice president of sports programming for CBS Radio and the operations manager for WFAN-AM. "Linsanity was big, but it did not overwhelm the radio station the way Tim Tebow has."
Michael Kay, the afternoon host for ESPN New York 1050-AM, said that his callers were overwhelmingly negative about the Tebow deal. "Not so much that he's a bad player," Kay said, "but they don't think he's a great player. There doesn't seem to be any gray area with Tebow and that makes him the perfect subject for the media.
Kay said he attended an ESPN Next party two months ago at the Super Bowl and spotted Tebow in the corner surrounded by 30 people. "Sitting maybe 10 feet from him on a couch were Barry Sanders and Jim Brown," said Kay. "Nobody was near them and nobody looked at them. They were all with Tebow. I mean, this guy is the Beatles."
Both WFAN and ESPN New York 1050-AM are interested in having Tebow do a weekly spot on their station, something unheard of in New York for a backup player. Said Kay, laughing: "We've never discussed getting [Giants backup quarterback] David Carr for a weekly spot."
While Denver is a one-newspaper town, it is hardly a small media market. The Denver Post had three full-time beat writers last season and three full-time columnists who would make occasional appearances at Broncos practices and press conferences. There are also four television stations, three local talk radio stations and a number of websites that cover the Broncos. Lindsay Jones, a Broncos reporter for The Denver Post, said there were about 60 media members at Wednesday media sessions when Tebow spoke. How did Tebow handle that media crush?
"I thought he handled it great, and I think there were two main reasons for this," Jones said. "First, his media demands in Denver were very carefully managed by the Broncos media relations department. He did his weekly press conference at the podium (initially it was outside, off the practice field, but was eventually moved inside to accommodate the cameras) and the opponent conference call on Wednesdays, and usually a limited amount of one-on-ones with local beat folks or national guys who had flown into town. Those interviews, always in the hallway, not in the locker room, were prearranged through Broncos PR.
"Other than that stuff on Wednesday, the only other media he did was a taped segment with KOA radio (the team's official radio partner) on Fridays, a quick KOA call-in on Mondays and then the network production meetings. Broncos PR declined hundreds of media requests a week. You think back to how much we heard and saw Tebow on television last season, but it was lots of clips from the postgame press conference or Wednesday press conference."
Jones said that Tebow never treated his media obligations like a chore. She said he made an effort to learn the names of the beat reporters who were around regularly and his media interaction was much more of a touchy situation when he was not the starter (yet the most in-demand player in the locker room). Tebow also had the benefit of having been in the spotlight since his early days at Florida, a beat covered by nearly a dozen newspapers, plenty of websites and national college football reporters.
"I mean, he never had anything happen in Denver as uncomfortable as being asked about his virginity at the podium at SEC media days," said Jones, who covered Tebow in college when she worked at The Palm Beach Post. "That said, Tebow is really good at not really answering questions directly, and avoiding questions all together that he might not want to answer. He became quite the expert of skirting questions about [general manager] John Elway's commitment in him and his future as the team's starting quarterback. But even as he's dancing around your question, he'll look you in the eye and smile.
"In general, his press conferences don't yield a ton of substance. He'll drop a one-liner every so often, and sometimes will let you see his wit and self-deprecating sense of humor, just usually it's a lot of praise for his teammates and coaches, praise for the opponent and other football clichés. He really gets going, though, when asked about any of his off-field endeavors, and as he grew more comfortable as Denver's starter, he used those press conferences to talk about his charity work and his faith. I'm not sure how that will go over in New York."
The content of Tebow's press conference was exactly as Jones said it would be. He was unfailingly polite and good-natured, and gifted at not producing much substance. He was asked multiple times about his relationship with Sanchez, the expectations of the quarterback position, how Ryan will use him, and whether he was upset with the Broncos for tossing him aside for Peyton Manning. Rarely did his answers extend beyond the surface. He did get animated when asked about the Wildcat formation and how his charitable work will extend to New York and New Jersey. He mentioned he was "excited" to be a Jet at least three dozen times.
The most interesting moment of the conference came with about eight minutes left, when a reporter from the Times asked Tebow to explain his core religious beliefs and why he had not addressed the hot-button social issues discussed by religious and political leaders. "We're at a press conference for the football team, so it's not exactly the platform to give and share everything you believe," Tebow said.
"But I have no problems ever sharing what I believe. I'm a Christian. I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. And that is first and foremost the most important thing in my life. For me it is about having a relationship with Christ. That's pretty much it. That is the basis of what I believe, and it is exciting for me to get opportunities to share that. But at the same time this is a press conference for the New York Jets football team, so I feel like it is an opportunity to answer questions about my opportunity to be here as a Jet. I'm excited about that. Any time you get an opportunity I am always going to talk about Jesus Christ and what he has done in my life. But I'm also here to talk about the Jets."
Seven minutes later, at 12:39 p.m., he was done. "Thank y'all, God bless," Tebow said upon conclusion. From there he did three one-on-one interviews -- ESPN, The NFL Network and the New York-based SportsNet New York Net (SNY) -- before exiting the stage, cameras continuing to follow his every move.

As they clustered around the Stardust sample return capsule, Donald Brownlee, Stardust principal investigator from the University of Washington in Seattle, warned his team they might not be able to see any comet dust. The tiny particles may have made such small tracks in the aerogel collector that they would not be visible to the naked eye.
Wearing white bunny suits in a clean room at Johnson Space Center, the team anxiously examined the collector tray… and then broke into delighted celebration. Small black holes dotted the wispy aerogel tiles, and some were as large as half a centimeter wide.
The holes are carrot-shaped, with a large entry hole that tapers to a point. The first photograph of a cometary particle shows it residing in the very tip of the tunnel it drilled, like the dot of an exclamation point. The particle is only 11 microns across, and appears to be a transparent mineral grain.
"Scientifically, that's great, because there's been lots of discussion of whether comets contain minerals or glass," says Brownlee.
Michael Zolensky, Stardust curator and co-investigator from the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, was among those excited to see evidence of the tiny comet grains. During Stardust's long seven-year journey to the comet Wild 2, he had given in to some pessimistic speculation.
"Maybe (the collection tray) wouldn't open properly. Maybe the particles would just smash all the aerogel out of the tray, and we'd come up with nothing at all. Or maybe (the aerogel) would even be covered with gunk from outgassing from the spacecraft," says Zolensky. "We were really worried about that, and got more and more worried as time went by. And so when we opened the tray just two days ago in the lab, we were relieved to find that everything went exactly right."
The scientists estimate they have up to a million comet particles, with a dozen or so that are the thickness of a human hair, and maybe even one that is larger than a millimeter. But it will take some time to know exactly what the aerogel collector tray holds.
"In the coming days we'll be documenting the positions and character of all the tracks, looking at some of them in more detail," says Brownlee. Afterwards, they will remove some of the aerogel tiles from the collector and pull out the particles so they can be studied with different instruments.
The Johnson Space Center will be sending out Stardust samples to about 150 scientists worldwide by next week. The first official science findings will be revealed at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference being held in Houston in March.
The opposite side of the collector tray holds samples of interstellar dust. Any tracks made by these miniscule particles are not readily apparent, so it will take some time to scan the aerogel tiles and find them. The scientists estimate they have collected up to two hundred interstellar dust grains, each no larger than a micron in size. In a project called Stardust@home, volunteers can help locate these particles by using their home computers to examine images of the aerogel. More than 65,000 people have volunteered so far.
Stardust's sample return capsule returned to Earth on Sunday, January 15. The spacecraft had flown halfway to Jupiter to collect samples of interstellar dust and particles from the comet Wild 2. The comet dates from the formation of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.
"We think that much of the Earth's water and organics - the molecules in our bodies - perhaps came from comets," says Zolensky. "So we'll learn a lot about the history of organics in the solar system. Basically it's like looking at our great great grandparents."
NASA launched another exploration mission on Thursday: New Horizons is now on its way to the planet Pluto. Brownlee notes that both Wild 2 and Pluto were born in the Kuiper Belt, a region of ice and dust that encircles the outer region of the solar system. Wild 2 was only recently kicked out of that region and now travels between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Planetary processes will have altered Pluto over time, since planets even as cold as Pluto can experience interior heating. But because Wild 2 is a small comet that hasn't seen much solar heating, it's remained relatively unchanged since the birth of the solar system.
"Pluto is a fascinating place, but it's a planetary-sized object and so it's modified the materials that it came from," says Brownlee. "Wild 2 is four-and-a-half kilometers in diameter, and it has a large amount of volatiles in it. The vapor that we saw coming out of the comet when we flew by was generated when the ice got heated up to 150 Kelvin. That ice had never been hotter than that temperature, or it would have been lost. So there is a good link to the Pluto probe, in that we're sampling the materials that Pluto was made of."

Rated 4 out of 5 by thewylddream Well it pours gravy! Ok I bought this and I don't use it often but if they ever do a reboot I would say use cornflower blue inside guys! Come on! Otherwise it is plenty big enough for a dinner of six to have gravy. It is actually kind of heavy when full so don't overfill! August 19, 2013

A series of car burglaries on the northwest side of Carson City has resulted in two arrests with more expected.
Suspects allegedly targeted at least eight to nine unlocked cars during the weekend, starting on Friday night, Sheriff Ken Furlong said.
"It's not our kids," stealing from cars, Furlong said. "It's someone else (from another county.)"
The first alleged suspect was discovered when a sergeant stopped a suspicious vehicle, he said.
"This is the perfect reason to call on suspicious activities," Furlong said.
The suspects were performing door checks - pulling on the door handles of vehicles to see if …

DNA is a complex molecule that contains instructions for life and often referred to as a "digital fingerprint" or code telling a cell what to do. DNA is often the only means for accurate testing and identification of biomolecules, cells, or even an entire person during forensic investigations. The need to be able to test for DNA, as quickly as possible, and even at the site where the sample is taken, is becoming more and more important.Read more ⇢

Before conducting certain blood sample analyses, researchers need to separate the red blood cell particles from the blood plasma. Using lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology, red blood cell separation can be achieved via magnetophoresis, i.e. motion induced by magnetic fields. Since the magnetic permeability of the particles is different from the blood plasma, their trajectory can be controlled within the flow channel of the LOC device and thereby separated out from the fluid.Read more ⇢

Microfluidic devices are so small that the micropumps and micromixers that control and mix the fluid inside the device cannot involve any moving components. Instead, they must take advantage of electroosmotic flow. Here, I will describe the concept of electroosmosis and the electrical double layer (EDL), and how to model these in COMSOL, walking you through two example models.Read more ⇢

There are many different routes through which drugs and other medications can be delivered into a patient's body during treatment. These include topographical ointments, pills, vaporizers, and injection systems, among others. Many of these drug delivery systems require an enormous amount of precision when it comes to the location, timing, concentration, and amount of the drug to be administered. This is where simulation can be a big help, as it can allow for the modeling of each of these aspects […]Read more ⇢

When you think of a valve, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Electromagnetic waves, or perhaps, Stokes flow separating charged chemicals in a microchannel system? Maybe neither. The truth is, when researchers try to separate small (in the picoliters region), well-defined sample volumes of chemicals, the dispensing accuracy provided by a mechanical regulator probably won't suffice. An electrokinetic valve, a type of microfluidic valve, on the other hand, provides the perfect solution by giving researchers the flow […]Read more ⇢

When you need to mix something at a very small scale you don't reach for a teeny-tiny whisk. If you're working with microscale biochemical applications you'd be more likely to rely on diffusion to mix fluids. With highly ordered laminar flow there is no turbulence involved, thus making diffusion a prime candidate for "getting the job done". But what if you need to mix larger molecules? Larger molecules mean higher molecular weight, which in turn leads to very long equilibration […]Read more ⇢

Bottled within last 2 months
Poured slowly, decant. Minimal head. Light pumpkin orange color. Clear.
Aroma is mostly the grapefruit. little bit of bready malt. Nothing really strong in the nose but hints as to what is to come.
Taste again citrus and grapefruit up front. Nice bit of bitterness rounds the hop profile. Bread and crackers on the malt bill among with a touch of caramel sweetness. Back end grassy hops.
Moderate carbonation, and moderate body. A bit syrupy, slick.
This was one of my first IPAs a couple years ago. Glad I got to finally review. This one is an old reliable for me. Hits all the aspects I like. Some sweetness, some citrus, some bitterness. All work together in this beer.

I had heard and heard about this beer, I dismissed it for a long while, then tried it. I am not from Michigan but they make some damn good beers in general. In fact I have never even been there, but some UP girls are wild!
This beer was a disappointment, I like the style but this one had too much malt, maybe Total wine and the room temp storage killed it.
Appearance: Beautiful, like I said the red ale thing is a thing of beauty but also a sign of mediocrity. I have heard how great this beer was from so many people, but it is not Two Hearted.
Smell: Average at best, sweet, not much in the hop category, I didn't detect any dating on this one but it may have been beyond the best by date. Anyway, it was sweet and nothing special going on in my opinion, I will have to try another, because this one was ho hum.
Taste: About the same as the smell really nothing spectacular, the build up was a disappointment.
Overall: This beer was a disappointment. It was a good beer, but not the level people give it, I have had phenomenal beers and this one was solid average.

12oz can poured into a pint glass.
A: Amber/orange in color, and a few shades darker than the average for the style. Healthy off white head retains well at a half inch. Light rings of lacing.
S: Lemon drop candy, sweet sticky bud, tangerine and other tropical fruits. Juicy fruit gum. Substantial malt base smells of caramel with subtle whiffs of candy shell.
T: Dank and earthy up front, but the hop tastes soon begin to divulge tangerine,lemon head candy, and maybe even passion fruit. Bitterness is firm but gentle. The malt body is a bit big-boned and brings things into balance, which is by no means a bad thing. Caramel, marmalade, light toast, and perhaps a bit of candy apple shell. The finish is very balanced and mellow, but leaves a lot of flavor lingering. Dank earthy hops, tropical fruits, and caramel.
M: Hefty medium body. Malt textures are full, silky, and a bit chewy, though it sits rather lightly in the stomach. Ample carbonation has just a bit of a crisp bite that barley cuts through the malt body. Lightly astringent. Awesome texture, it really glides over the tongue.
O: This is one of those great IPAs that manages to please the drinker with a boatload of hop flavor, yet counter it perfectly with a malt body that holds its own. It strikes the perfect balance between hop bitterness and malty sweetness, and is absurdly drinkable because of this. This is tasting amazing coming from the can.
